The blizzard-like conditions are causing flight cancellations and stranding travels across the country, including at Orlando International Airport. Dozens of flights were canceled at the airport Friday.

"You have to be patient and recognize that you cannot control nature," said Jose Cartagena.

The cancellations are creating a big inconvenience for many travelers -- many who were hoping to go home from holiday vacations.

Flights to New York and Boston were having the most issues.

One traveler said she won't be able to get out of Orlando until Jan. 6. Her JetBlue flight to JFK was canceled, and she's not sure who's going to teach her kindergarten class on an Air Force base in Turkey.

"This is a huge inconvenience. I did sub-plans for a day because you never know," said traveler Nicole Lahey. "But I didn't really think I was going to need them. So I don't know what's going to happen, actually."

Many flights are running full, which makes it nearly impossible to reschedule flights.

Passengers are encouraged to check with their airline before making their way to the airport.
